Oceanodroma

Oceanodroma is a genus of storm petrels. The genus name is from Ancient Greek okeanos, "ocean" and dromos, "runner".[1]

Species

See text.

One species, the Guadalupe storm petrel (O. macrodactyla), is possibly extinct.

In 2010, the International Ornithological Congress (IOC) added the Cape Verde storm petrel (O. jabejabe) to their list of accepted species (AS) splits, following Bolton et al. 2007. This species was split from the band-rumped storm petrel (O. castro).

In 2016, the IOC added Townsend's storm petrel (O. socorroensis) and Ainley's storm petrel (O. cheimomnestes) to their list of AS splits, following Howell 2012. These species were split from Leach's storm petrel (O. leucorhoa).

Species

The genus contains 17 species:[2]

Taxonomy and phylogeny

The genus Oceanodroma was erected in 1853 by the German naturalist Ludwig Reichenbach with the fork-tailed storm petrel (Oceanodroma furcata) as the type species.[3][4] Phylogenetic analyses have found that Oceanodroma paraphyletic with respect to Hydrobates.[5][6] As a result some authorities have transferred all Oceanodroma species to Hydrobates, although other authorities continue to recognise the two genera.

The following cladogram shows the results of the phylogenetic analysis by Wallace et al (2017), who use Hydrobates for all species.[6]
